Carson Benge notches three hits in loss to Marlins

It’s unclear if Jenkins is sitting just because the Twins are facing a left-hander, or if they just wanted to give the 21-year-old outfielder a breather after starting in seven straight games. He has struggled at the dish thus far, slashing .130/.286/.304 with one homer, three RBI, one stolen base and a 6/5 K/BB ratio over 28 plate appearances to begin his MLB career.

The 29-year-old outfielder will get a breather in this one with veteran right-hander Max Scherzer on the hill for the Jays. John Rave will draw a rare start in center field in his place and will bat seventh for the Royals.

The dynamic 29-year-old outfielder started and hit in the middle of the Orioles’ lineup in each of his first three games since coming over from the Mets. He’ll get a breather here though before likely returning for Sunday’s series finale. Colton Cowser will start in his place in center field and bat ninth against Red Sox’ right-hander Sonny Gray.

The 23-year-old had started every other game during the week — either at third base or second base — but he’ll get a breather in this one with right-hander Dustin May on the bump for the Brewers. Matt McLain will start at second base and will bat ninth for the Reds.

Lowe will take a seat in this one with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi taking the mound for the Angels. Nick Gonzales will cover second base and will bat fifth for the Pirates on Saturday evening in Pittsburgh.

Clark has been a fixture in the Tigers’ lineup in center field since arriving from Triple-A Toledo, but he’ll get a breather in this one after playing in both halves of Friday’s doubleheader and with tough left-hander Parker Messick toeing the slab for the Guardians. The 21-year-old has impressed in his first exposure to big league pitching, slashing .265/.331/.434 with a pair of homers, 16 RBI and two stolen bases in his first 126 plate appearances. Zach McKinstry will start in his place in center field and bat eighth for the Tigers.

The 31-year-old southpaw has been shelved since the end of June due to a triceps strain. He has finally made tangible strides toward a return to the Nationals’ bullpen though and after a couple of appearances in a minor league setting, he could be ready to be activated by the end of next week.

Tiedemann winds up back in the majors after being shuttled back to the minors roughly 24 hours ago. The 24-year-old was one of the most intriguing pitching prospects in baseball just a couple years ago before an avalanche of injuries derailed his development. He’s likely ticketed for a relief role during the final three weeks of the season.

No surprise after Taillon left Friday’s start against the Royals after just 29 pitches. The 34-year-old veteran has been mostly ineffective as a starter this season and has also dealt with a number of physical issues. He’s most likely done for the rest of the season with just three weeks left on the calendar.

Lowe is back in right field and hitting seventh after missing two games with neck stiffness earlier this week.
